Biography

With a background in electronics and computing, Dr Callaway's primary research interest is the use of technology at all levels of sport. His goal is to create comprehensive biomechanical and tactical profiles for coaches and researchers. Working across a variety of sports including Beach Soccer, Archery, Table Tennis, and Swimming has allowed application of his research in practical ways. The experience from this is relayed into his teaching and supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students.

In his spare time he competes at archery, previously representing Great Britain at numerous international events.

Research

Andrew's current research projects include:

- Virtual Reality as a feedback tool in developing motor skills - Tactical performance in Beach Soccer

- Muscle activation sequences in Archery (EMG)

- Power hitting interventions in Cricket (with Jordy Watts)

- Player load in Badminton (with Matthew Wylde)
